The Stamp Review Crew: Rays of Light

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We typically share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday of the month.  This bonus week we are playing with a fun background stamp, Rays of Light.  If you are following the hop in order, you have just arrived from the blog of the very talented Holly Krautkremer.   

Those Who Wait Bait: I thought it would be fun to pair a sunrise with Gone Fishing for my first card.  As I was putting it together, smart aleck Hubs said the sentiment clearly should say "bait".  I had to change it.

Stamps: Gone Fishing, Rays of Light, Short Order Alphabet (retired); Paper: Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Very Vanilla; Ink: Crushed Curry, Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Pebbled Path, Versamark, Stampin' Blends; Accessories: Silver Thread, White Embossing Powder, 1" Circle Punch, Sponge, Gone Fishing Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, Dimensionals.

Turtle Silhouette: Another card pairs the chosen background set with a main image from Sea Turtle.  I used a variety of blue-green ink to blend the background from light to dark. 

All the interest of the card is in the background, so I kept the rest of the layers simple.  Not having a ton of current sentiment sets, I grabbed a recently retired one.  This card uses Freshly Made Sketches #595.

Stamps: Sea Turtle, Rays of Light, Better Days (retired); Paper: Pretty Peacock, Basic Black, Whisper White; Ink: Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Whisper White Craft, Versamark; Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, White Embossing Powder, Blending Brush, Watercolor Brush, Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
